Alexa and Carlos PenaVega Say No to Victimhood as the Couple Talk Worldly Past & New Children's Book

She became a household name as Carmen Cortez in Spy Kids, and he, as Carlos Garcia on Nickelodeon's Big Time Rush.
Alexa and Carlos PenaVega enjoyed the fame, fortune and access to what the world pushes, such as parties, sex, and alcohol - but it still wasn't enough.
The duo, who are parents to Ocean, 5, Kingston, 3 and Rio, 1, recently sat down with me to discuss their new, animated children's book, Ocean's World. During our chat, we also discussed their love and redemption story, which they shared in detail in their book, What if Love is the Point? .
Carlos comes from a Catholic background, while Alexa attended church since she was a young. But a prior divorce for Alexa and pull to the world for Carlos led both to live a self-pleasing lifestyle. For Carlos, it took hitting "rock bottom" as he said it, to realize he had enough of the way he was living and wanted something different. For both, it took a Muslim-turned-Christian friend, Andrew, to not only introduce the two to each other, but to re-introduce both to Christ.

I loved books! Friends, if you're living a life you know you shouldn't be living, or used to live a life that wasn't Christ-like, you'll want this book! There's no condemnation in Christ! As Carlos said, as easy as it was to change his hair, so you can change your life. It comes down to a choice to want to do it. The path may have ups and downs, but you can change RIGHT NOW! What part(s) from their interview spoke to you the most?

There totally is a difference between being ashamed of your past and living in shame in the present. Being ashamed of what we WERE is biblical. I think that is one thing that prevents us from returning to it.
Proper humility is one reason we can talk about our past without living in shame.

Shame is from our enemy. God does not shame us. He tells us the truth and we agree and ask forgiveness. We are brand new creatures who have died to our old life, and are born into a whole new LIFE with Jesus!!!
